Box Score GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A seven-run, sixth-inning outburst by the Elon offense erased a 4-1 deficit as the Phoenix knocked of UNC Greensboro 14-8 in game one of a Southern Conference baseball series on Friday evening.

Trailing 4-1 heading into the top of the sixth inning, Elon (9-8, 3-4 SoCon) began its rally with a Ryan Kinsella double to left.  A one-out double off the bat of Wil Leathers drove home Kinsella to make it 4-2.  After a walk, pinch-hitter Joey Tomko grounded a ball through the right side of the infield to plate Leathers.  A Blaine Bower bunt single loaded the bases for his twin brother Quinn Bower who delivered a bloop single down the left field line to tie the game at four.  The Phoenix took its first lead of the game when Alex Swim sent a sacrifice fly to center that scored Tomko.  With the Bower brothers on the corners, Elon pulled off a double steal to make it 6-4 before Antonio Alvarez crushed his third homer of the year over the wall in left-center to cap the seven-run outburst.

The Spartans (8-8, 0-1) scored first as Cambric Moye singled home Ray Crawford in the last of the first.  After Elon tied it in the second on Kinsella's sixth homer of the year, UNCG put up three in the second.  The RBI was the 100th of Kinsella's career.

Elon added three to its total in the seventh as Tomko doubled home two and later scored on a Blaine Bower ground out.  After UNCG scored four unearned runs in the last of the seventh to make it 11-8, the maroon and gold plated another three in the eighth on a bomb from Leathers, his first of the season.

Dylan Clark (2-1) was the winning pitcher as he settled in after the second, allowing just two hits in his final four innings of work.  Clark went six and evened his career high with eight strikeouts.  John Antonelli picked up his first save with 2.2 scoreless innings.

The loss went to Dylan Hathcock (2-2) who gave up four runs on four hits in two-thirds of an innning in relief of starter Max Povse.  UNCG pitching allowed three homers to the Phoenix, matching the total its staff had allowed all season.

Elon's offensive attack saw both Kinsella (3-for-5, two runs, one RBI) and Leathers (3-for-4, three runs, four RBI) just miss the cycle - Kinsella was a triple shy, while Leathers needed just the single.  Tomko was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBI off the bench for the Phoenix.

Game two of this series will be played at 2 p.m. on Saturday at UNCG Baseball Stadium.
